I'm Drooling

Gentlemen,

Picked up a 2016 Touring Sport Roadster 6spd on Thursday. She was a demonstrator with 11 000 km (6900 mi) in blue with the dove grey seats. I have to say that I'm impressed. What a gorgeous thing of beauty!

I've always been a Z car fan and have owned a 71 240z, an 84 300zx, and presently a 90 300zx NA 5spd, which will soon become someone else's.

I looked at the Honda S2000 (too much like my 90 z in age), the Z4 (can't get past the styling), and the new 2016 Miata (loved the car, but I don't fit). And I couldn't get past the snob factor to even consider the Boxster.

The Nissan has the most complicated/troublesome top, but the room inside and the amenities did the job. I'm sure the day will come when I'll have to dig into correcting a top issue or replacing the material, but hopefully that will be some time down the road, and even then I'll tackle it myself.

I'm looking forward to learning and sharing Z related solutions with you, simply because I hate paying someone to do a job on my car that I can do myself with a little research.

Gene
